Suspects Sped Away From Police In Waterford Incident

WATERFORD, CT — Police are searching for two suspects following an incident last week. On Wednesday at 2: 15 a.m., a state trooper conducted a traffic stop of a black four-door BMW on I-395 southbound.

As the trooper approached the vehicle, it fled at a high rate of speed. The driver blacked out the lights and continued on the highway toward I-95.

The vehicle's registration plate came back as "lost," and was not supposed to be on the vehicle it was affixed to.

Police said an investigation found that the passenger was Xavier Rivera, 23, who was later learned to have two active arrest warrants, one being a violation of probation warrant. Both suspects are pictured on State Police Troop E Montville's Facebook page.

The suspects are known to frequent and/or live in the New Haven and Hamden areas. Anyone with information on the case should call Troop E at 860-848-6500.
